Day.
Half past twelve at noon.
Capital's Transcendent Realm.
Phantom Chen Yu arrived on time at the residence where Li Yao had lived before, silently waiting for the plot to unfold.
Shortly after.
The True Chen Yu made his appearance, showing up at the villa's entrance.
That incredibly familiar yet unusually unripe face made Phantom Chen Yu sigh with emotion.
'Fuck me.'
'I was really handsome when I was young.' (Aren't you supposed to be invisible?)
"Stop right there!"
Outside Li Yao's villa, a thin middle-aged security guard with an icy stare sized up True Chen Yu and reached out to stop him: "No entry for outsiders, stay back."
True Chen Yu took a deep breath and bent over to hand out a card: "Hello. I had an appointment with Miss Li."
The guard accepted the card emotionlessly, glanced down at it: "You have two minutes to meet with her."
"Yes, yes, yes."
(I remember it being one minute?) Phantom Chen Yu was bewildered.
